Attorney Sanford Rubenstein won't be charged in alleged rape case

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Manhattan district attorney's office announced Monday that it will not be pursuing charges against Sanford Rubenstein after a woman claimed she was raped by the prominent attorney in his Upper East Side apartment back in October.

"I am pleased that after a very thorough investigation, the district attorney has closed the case and concluded that I should not be charged with any crime whatsoever," the 70-year-old Rubenstein said. "I want to thank my family, my partners and the staff at my firm and my attorney Ben Brafman, who has guided me through this ordeal. I look forward to many more years of practicing law and representing victims. I maintained from the very beginning that I did not violate the law. I am pleased that the system worked and that I have now been fully cleared."
